Villanova University Top Questions

The best thing about my school is its emphasis on serving and giving back to the community in order to promote the "greater good." Between the annual "Day of Service," "Martin Luther King Service Day," and the countless opportunities to volunteer through campus ministry and other service groups around campus, there is always a way to get involved in some sort of service activity. I believe that this commitment makes Villanova students some of the friendliest, compasionate, and most well rounded inviduals in the world.

The greatest aspect of Villanova is that as a community, it promotes students to try new things- to take risks and step outside their comfort zones. Villanova wants its students to take up a new club, or try out an elective in a new field of interest, or see what types of service feel right for them. Here I feel as though I have no limitations on pursuing new interests. I am always given the opportunity to learn something I didn't know, or meet someone willing to both teach and learn.

The teachers. They care

There's a feeling you get when you become a part of the Nova Nation. It's hard to describe, but there's a sense of community here that's different from other colleges. Attending Villanova is something that I have in common with thousands of other people, and we have a mutual respect and loyalty to each other simply for attending Villanova. We're a family here, and I really don't think you see that at many other schools.

The best thing about Villanova is the commitment to service. The majority of the focus of the clubs and activities is service to others, which is one of the reasons I picked Villanova. Students are not only challenged academically but we are forced to think about the larger world and how our actions affect others. There is a strong emphasis on moral responsiblity - that is, if we have been given a lot, we have the responsibility to give back to the community.

Community aspect of school. Welcoming of new students. They want you to succees.

The best thing about my school is the dedication that the students have to their work and to service.

The best thing I consider about my school is the strong enthusiasm for service. Throughout the year, there are several opportunities to serve. St. Thomas of Villanova Day of Service is where students can sign up with student organizations (or make a group with their friends) and go to a service site for the day. There's also Special Olympics; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service; service break trips; and weekly outings promoted by Campus Ministry. Most of the student body participates in these service opportunities because it's a great way to meet others while doing something beneficial.

The best thing about my school is the sense of community. Everybody seems to be on the same team. This is so great because it is such a welcoming feeling for nervous freshman.
